Conservative commentator Dinseh D’Souza said Friday that Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) revealed to him the contents of his FBI file.
D’Souza said on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal that DeSantis called him after the lawmaker received a redacted version of the FBI file through a congressional inquiry.
“Finally they gave the congressional committee the redacted file, and a congressman who saw that file called me,” D’Souza said. “And he goes, ‘Number one, your case is a $20,000 violation, but the FBI immediately assigned $100,000 to investigate your case.’ He said that’s extremely abnormal.”
D’Souza then said DeSantis was the lawmaker who called him.
DeSantis’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment by The Hill.
The three-term congressman and a vocal supporter of President Trump is a GOP candidate in Florida's gubernatorial race. He faces state Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam in the Republican primary later this month.
Trump repeated his endorsement of DeSantis at a rally this week.
D’Souza also said on C-SPAN that his FBI file states, “red-flagged, ‘Dinesh is a right-wing conservative.’”
“See, that shouldn’t be in my file because the whole point is that people who violate the law should be treated the same, the politics are irrelevant,” D'Souza said. “The reason the FBI put that in there is to alert the Justice Department: Hey this is a guy you may want to go after.”
Trump pardoned D’Souza in May after the commentator pleaded guilty in 2014 to making illegal campaign contributions. The president said D’Souza was treated “very unfairly by our government.”
The commentator says he was targeted by the Obama administration over his political views.
Big factor

RedEyeJack-
It has long been my contention that “Filegate” is probably the most important crime in the history of the country. Sadly, an un-curious press didn’t seem interested and meekly accepted the Clinton’s transparent explanation of a “bureaucratic snafu.” After that, they were essentially bulletproof.
Stupid of Dinesh to bring DeSantis' name into this during a tough campaign. The Dems will make an issue of this, accusing DeSantis of a crime and linking him with racial things Dinesh has posted over the years.
Hannity, and all of the other conservative pundits, go out of their way to proclaim the pure virtue of the 'rank file' who are every bit as corrupt {or complicit} as the 7th floor.
The fbi is a gummint operation, covering it's own ass, and has both guns and lawyers to beat the average citizen into submission.
Please stop with all the virtue of the average rank & file fbi agent, the best of a bad lot, just look away, and pretend they don't see, hear or know nuttin...screw them all.
>>Sorry, but the FBI has become the STASI and the KGB
>>I don’t want to hear one more Freeper call Putin a “thug,” while this shit goes on in the USA.
Yep...
Praying that DeSantis gets in. BTW, I had lunch today with a leftie-liberal friend who knows my politics but went on and on about some film called ‘The Post’ with Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks saving America during the Pentagon Papers controversy and how the media were heroes with a Supreme Court win over it. This person knows how I feel about the Democrats and politics and fake media and when I said, The media today can’t use that situation as an excuse to try to remove Trump from office concerning fake Russia collusion, the person smiled like I was a conservative backed into a corner and the person was enjoying it, saying, We’ll just have to agree to disagree about that.
The fbi is under the control of the democrats. It still is, today, Aug 3, 2018. Trump does not control the fbi. It is a corrupt organization. It has performed criminal actions. It uses its force (guns, handcuffs, ability to arrest) to silence innocent citizens of the wrong political persuasion.
Don’t like what I said? Go to hell.

At home last night I was on a famous social media platform that many younger people are on all the time. I will not explicitly name it, but let me refer to it herein as Fakebook.
As of last night, Fakebook is now CENSORING my pro-gun posts, and CENSORING my Messenger messages, blocking 7 posts in an hour, including private messages to others. There was NOTHING illegal nor immoral in them, but they were NOT liberal enough for Fakebook, as an Agent of the Deep State. If you want to know where you can download FREE 3D printable-gun blueprints, you may have to call me. Fakebook allows porno, but BLOCKS website links to at least some legal, technical firearm information. If you want to download the forbidden knowledge, (and I did all 10 gun designs, even though I have no such printer, just to strike a blow for the First Amendment) go to CodeIsFreeSpeech, but with a www. at the beginning and a .com at the end.
You see, Fakebook IS part of the Deep State. Stand up to them. This knowledge is ALREADY in the Public Domain. And please do share this info with your friends. Remember: America’s First Amendment depends on YOU!
Honestly, I had READ of such things, but I never thought they would do it to me. Now that they HAVE, many friends are describing similar censorship, such as erasing of posts, or not letting their friends “see” messages sent to them, that have happened to THEM! The “forbidden” website in question? It is patriotic, and it is of course: www.codeisfreespeech.com
